Illegal immigration is caused by...abortion

But you knew that, right? Well, just in case you didn't, William S. Renaudin, a New Orleans physician, explains it you in his letter to the editor of the Times-Picayune:

George W. Bush says that illegal immigrants are taking jobs that U.S. citizens don't take. One reason is that there are not enough young workers to take these jobs. Could it be that a major reason is that the United States has legally eliminated 45 million people under the age of 40? Legalized abortion since Roe v. Wade has prevented 45 million young people from existing and adding to the worker pool in this country.

I'm not making this up. He goes on to say that abortion is a likely cause of the impending demise of Social Security.

Of all the inanity in Renaudin's "reasoning," the most interesting is the assumption that all of the fetuses aborted in the U.S.--if allowed to come to term and be born--would be eagerly waiting for the time when they could clean restrooms at fast food outlets and inhale pesticides in orchards.
